At what point does the republican party become so embarrassed, disgusted, & scared shitless

[Elwood P Dowd]

that they finally put an end to this nightmare? Trump just made last week's disaster even worse. He is like the mafia dude Lucky Luciano who insisted on taking the stand to defend himself and ended up guaranteeing a guilty verdict.

[BigmanPigman]

1. It won't happen because the GOP doesn't have the basic human character traits

you mentioned. Shit, they don't even have a reflection when they look in a mirror.

[pat_k]

11. It won't happen because his maladministration is...

... accomplishing what they've dreamed about for decades.

A long-harbored conservative dream the dismantling of the administrative state

[Warpy]

2. About the time their internal polls show that they'll all

probably lose their jobs in the next election.

They have to be afraid of voter anger to do the decent thing. Even then, it doesn't always work if there are large bribes involved. See: the ACA repeal vote.

[First Speaker]

3. Never

...the GOP doing anything, anything whatever, to jeopardize their power, or their "agenda"? Getting rid of Trump would splinter the party, and enrage the GOP's subhuman "base". I think the Ryans and McConnells are literally afraid for their lives, if they move against Trump...

[33taw]

4. Quit waiting for them. We need the house or senate.

[Lotusflower70]

5. They won't

They don't have ethics, morals or emotions. They don't care. They are buried in the steaming pile that is this administration.

[Alice11111]

13. !!!

[global1]

6. Maybe Eric Trump Will Save Us.....

and 'commit' his Father.

Eric seems like the only Trump that has managed to stay out of the limelight and trouble. Maybe he is smarter than we think.

[Alice11111]

14. Yes, maybe he is an atomic particle smarter than a doorknob

[bluepen]

7. When they start taking a hard look at their 2018

polling numbers.

[democratisphere]

8. redumbliCONs have no souls like their shameless leader.

[Kablooie]

9. As soon as the Democrats take over government. Then Republicans will decide to end Trump.

Not before.

[Initech]

10. They don't care, or ever will.

For them it's all about exerting power, and the liberal derangement syndrome they've instilled on the populace will guarantee that they'll get to keep their power no matter how bad it gets. Remember - they wanted this.

[jcmaine72]

12. At precisely the same point their ideological ancestors in Nazi Germany did back in 1945...

When they're presiding over nothing but smoking ruins and finally realize that they'll have hell to pay for the hatred they've created.

[lunasun]

26. Exactly!

[Xolodno]

15. Oh..I'm sure they are there already...

...I think the issue is, they don't know how to handle it. Think about this for a minute, when Dump was inaugurated ...oh and I want to reiterate, I'm going to take a dump on his property;

1. They have the House.

2. They have the Senate.

3. They have the Executive.

4. They maintain a right slant on the Judicial.

5. They have their wet dream, a business guy in the executive.

6. They have a the ratings on the media.

And despite all their planets aligning, all hell breaks loose;

1. The House can't agree.

2. The Senate can't agree.

3. The Executive makes the Netflix "House of Cards" look tame.

4. The Judicial hasn't always gone the way they want it.

5. The business guy is nuts.

6. Their right wing media empire is imploding.


And the irony, they created this mess. They used social media, the 24 hour news cycle, radio, etc. to get them back in power without having to bite the bullet and change the party... but its that same "new tech" that is about to be their demise.

[FakeNoose]

17. Everything you say about the GOP is true

The party is run by greedy, power-mad lunatics. They haven't the slightest idea what the fuck they're doing and none of them are qualified to be in the White House.

I sincerely hope we're watching them destroy the Party, because after this there's nothing. They can't survive this.

[DFW]

16. Not until a majority of them realize that this IS a nightmare

So far, most of them still view Trump as a wet dream.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

18. Never - they're all Honey Badgers

Look at all the crazies that have proceeded tRump, perhaps starting with Spiro Agnew.

They don't give a shit. See Steve Bannon in action:

[Skittles]

19. they care more about the Greedy Old Pig party than they care about America

that is a fact

[JHB]

20. Not until they actually get creamed at elections and lose power.

That's when they'll stop caring whether they alienate their wingnuts.

[Hieronymus]

21. Change the nuclear codes.

[Squinch]

22. After they pass the tax cuts for the wealthy and get their kickbacks. Then Trump(R) is out.

[haveahart]

23. Tax cuts won't save them. It will be viewed more than ever as breaks for the 1% that Trump

brought into his administration from the swamp. Politicians have not been honest about trade, jobs, and the environment. We all will suffer for it. Deregulation will allow the rich to get richer at the expense of the lower and middle classes AND it will allow the continued dishonesty of the RW media. The only way that all changes is with a new Congress, re-instated regulations, and new laws and the total destruction of Citizens United.

[Squinch]

24. Of course they have been dishonest. Of course we will suffer, of course deregulation will

hurt all but the 1%.

But that is what they are waiting for. They will all get lots of money under the table the moment they pass that tax cut, and they will not oust Trump(R) till they get that done.

The Republicans are not going to do the right thing.

[beachbum bob]

25. sub 30% approval level and 6 months out from general election...by then too late

and can't wait

[Adrahil]

27. It's too late. They'll ride this horse wherever it goes.

So far, Trump seems teflon. No matter the shit he's covered in, his base won't leave him. And for some reason, they don't seem to want Pence for President.

[ecstatic]

28. Sadly, when it's too late and millions have already died

And each and every one of those spineless fuckers will be complicit in his (war?) crimes.
